Is there a way to use ColorTransform to alter the colors of a gradient on a shape? Or is there another way to it aside from redrawing the shape?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to draw a box shape on screen which fills with a gradient, but according to the angle between your start and end mouse points. ie, if you draw from 100x100 to 200,200, the angle will be 45 degrees and it will draw your gradient fill within 100x100 to 200,200 on a 45 degree angle.
Trouble is, I can EITHER get the angle working just fine if I fill the entire shape, or the angle isn't right but the fill area is correct. Please see the attached fla and click drag within the red box, trying out the 2 matrix arrays in thereto see the 2 x scenarios listed above.

I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape {
var ray:Shape = new Shape();
ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5);
ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
I wonder what kind of class(es) I should use to accomplish this task. I have two predefined colors, 0xFF0000 and 0x00FF00 (red and green), and I would like to set a number of gradiants of colors between these two colors. [code]This generates a random color, but I don't want to generate just any random one. Does anyone know what kind of color class I should use to accomplish my task objective?

View 23 RepliesDoes anybody know a purely PHP based way to alter the frequency of an MP3 file?
A client's website is utilizing a Flash based MP3 player to play some audio.The client is producing the audio herself.
The trouble is that the tools that she is producing it with, and is familiar with, automatically produces MP3 files with a frequency of 48000hz, while some versions of Flash have trouble playing anything with a frequency differing from 44100khz.
Is there any way, using some kind of intermediary such as XML, PHP or the like, to alter ftp files with Actionscript? Actionscript 2 is my target, but 3 is alright too and I would need to be able to at least move and delete ftp files. In an unrelated matter, does any file transfer protocol allow the creation of shortcuts? If Actionscript and languages that communicate with Actionscript can't write to ftp, can they read from it? I know that you can call a specific file in the same folder as the swf, but can a user request a listing of the entire contents of a folder, or alternatively just the number of items in a folder?

View 7 RepliesI am stumped as to how to use an animated symbol repeatedly in a timeline while being able to alter its visual qualities without breaking the animation motion.I make a simple 3-layer animation of a body with two legs doing a walk cycle in place.I convert the completed animation as a new graphic symbol in the library.
I can then drag copies of that animated symbol to different timeline layers and alter their overall scales or give them each additional motions with a motion tween so various versions of it can move across the stage independently with tweens while keeping the walk cycle movements of the symbol.
I can change the colour properties of the added symbols but this only affects the whole image, so if the object had a body and legs in different colours, altering the properties changes all of the body parts to the same colour.Doing this does preserve the walk cycle motion, but the new object looks crude because it has become all one colour.I can then alter the visual properties of the components individually, but then it loses its animation motion.Whether I just group it again or convert it to a new symbol, it has lost the animation motion (the walk cycle of the legs) of the original. how to make such an animated symbol so that I can reuse it in the timeline while changing its visual properties (so it looks like a different character in the story) and yet keep its original animation motion.I have tried to duplicate the symbol and to copy and paste the motion but nothing seems to work.
I've run into an interesting problem while working on a file. Everything was going really well until I got into work this morning, and suddenly I couldn't change any instance names on any existing movie clips. The movie still compiles fine, and everything that already had an instance name still has an instance name. However, I cannot change any instance names, nor can I give any new movie clips instance names. The instance name text box is grayed out and I can't select it. Everything else works fine, and I can give instance names to text fields that I create. I have no problems saving files, exporting SWfs, drawing, or animating.
After doing some research, it appears that this issue is limited only to my computer - everyone else can give instance names to movie clips, using the same files. Also, this problem appears to be affecting every file I open on this computer.

I'm trying to figure out a way to alter a path to an image that is in a meta tag. It's for a facebook share button, and I'd like the ability to change the thumbnail image that is sent to facebook depending on where the user is in my flash file. The link itself is sent from flash no problem but I'd like to update this meta tag
Code:
<link rel="image_src" href="[URL]" / >
First somehow (not sure if PHP is the answer or flashvars or what) and then send the link. I attempted to just add all the facebook meta data to a php file that had a redirect link to the facebook share but it didn't like that hack. So basically I need to alter the meta tag on the current page and send the link from flash.
